1-22 (No.RA003)5.2.3.3 KPG-22A description (PC programming interfacecable: Option)The KPG-22A is required to interface the transceiver with thecomputer. It has a circuit in its D-sub connector (KPG-22A: 9-pin)case that converts the RS-232C logic level to the TTL level.The KPG-22A connects the SP/MIC connector of the transceiverto the RS-232C serial port of the computer.5.2.3.4 KPG-22U description (USB programming interfacecable: Option)The KPG-22U is a cable which connects to a USB port on a com-puter.When using the KPG-22U, install the supplied CD-ROM (withdriver software) in the computer. The KPG-22U driver runs underWindows XP, Vista, 7 or 8.The latest version of the USB driver is available for downloadfrom the following URL:http://www.kenwood.com/usb-com/(This URL may change without notice.)5.2.3.5 Programming software descriptionThe FPU is the programming software for the transceiver sup-plied on a CD-ROM. This software runs under Windows XP, Vis-ta, 7 or 8 on a PC. The software on this disk allows a user toprogram the transceiver via the Programming interface cable(KPG-22A/22U).• Use the FPU that matches the market when you first set themarket code and model name/frequency data to the serviceunit. A unit set by mistake cannot be restored.• List of FPU for transceiver5.2.3.6 Programming with a PCIf data is transferred to the transceiver from a PC with the FPU,the data for each set can be modified.Data can be programmed into the EEPROM in RS-232C formatvia the SP/MIC jack.In this mode, the PTT line operate as TXD and RXD data lines,respectively.5.2.4 Wireless Clone Mode5.2.4.1 Outline“Wireless Clone Mode” copies the transceiver data to anothertransceiver.The dealer can copy the transceiver data to another transceivereven without the use of a personal computer.5.2.4.2 ExampleThe transceiver can copy the programming data to one or moretransceivers via RF communication.The clone source and clone target(s) must be in wireless clonemode.5.2.4.3 Operation(1) To switch the clone target(s) to Wireless Clone mode,press and hold the [PTT] and [Side2] keys while turning thetransceiver power ON.(2) Wait for 2 seconds. The LED will light orange and the trans-ceiver will announce “Clone”.(3) Select a channel table number using the Side1 (incrementchannel table) and Side2 (decrement channel table) keys.(4) To switch the clone source to wireless clone mode, pressand hold the [PTT] and [Side2] keys while turning the trans-ceiver power ON.(5) Wait for 2 seconds. The LED will light orange and the trans-ceiver will announce “Clone”.(6) Select the same channel table number as the clone tar-get(s).(7) Press [PTT] on the clone source to begin data transmis-sion.When the clone target starts to receive data, the LED willlight green.When the clone source finishes sending data, a “confirma-tion” tone will sound.If data transmission fails while cloning, an “error” tone willsound from the target unit.(8) If the cloning fails, no data will be available in the target unitwhen it is returned to User mode.(9) When the cloning is successful, the target unit’s “Scan” and“Key lock” functions will return to their default values (Scan= OFF, Key lock = OFF).Note:• The dealer can clone data to two or more transceivers by re-peating the above procedures.• If the transceiver’s wireless clone Mode is configured as“Disabled”, it cannot enter Clone mode.• The table shown in the next page covers the frequenciesused for wireless cloning.• Wireless clone mode cannot be entered in battery low state.• A unit cannot be a “Source Unit” if it is not programmed. If[PTT] is pressed, an “error” tone will sound.• The language available is only English.• Once a unit is set to be the source, it cannot be a target afterthe data has been transmitted. This protects the data in thesource unit.• Electronic interface may cause a failure in data transfer dur-ing Wireless Cloning, such as when waveforms or electro-magnetic fields are being performed at the workbench.• Wireless clone mode can be used ONLY by authorizedservice personnel.• The wireless clone mode setting must be configured as“Disable” before being delivered to the end-user.• To clone, replace the antenna from both the sourcetransceiver and the target transceiver with a dummyload.• The transmit output power is automatically set to Low inclone mode.• Wireless clone mode does not function if Read Authori-zation Password or Overwrite Password has been con-figured in Data Password.Model Type FPUNX-340 K, K2, K3, P, M, M2, M3 KPG-169DNX-340(U) K, K2 KPG-170D
